A Republican Vancouver.

The republicans have begun the campaign
of IS by the organization of national
league, the purpose of which is to organize
republican clubs all over the union, which
shall be permanent institutions, having as
their object the support of the republican
party by complete and practical organiza-
ton.
AT an alleged national convention inst
held in New York, the Republican League
was established. This convention was com
posed ostensibly of republican clubs from
all of the states, but an examination into
the list of delegates will show that num-
Der of the southern states were not repre-
scented at all. As the republicans propose
to make their next campaign on the sup
preston of the negro vote in the south, is IL
not a little queer that this assembage of
stalwarts did not have among them single
representative from several Of the states
which they propose TO redeem? In boxing
over the extensive list Of vice presidents
and executive committeeman selected, we
find that every state In the union was repre-.
scented except few Of the south, IN which
the negro vote is very large. Georgia, South
Carolina, Florida and other southern states

The Tobacco Tax.

There is quite discussion going on in
some of the papers as to whether tobacco is
luxury or a necessity, and we observe
quite a confusion of words and terms. 1t
is generally conceded that luxuries ought to
be taxed but what are Injuries? 1t is, per-
haps, useless to make this inquiry, for the
matter can be turned and twisted indefin-
itely; but n luxury may be boldly described
as something that the rich think they need
for their comfort,
And so it goes. One class regards the use
of tobacco as a vice, another describes the
weed as a luxury, and the poor people who
are willing to pay their money for it, look
upon it as a necessity. Now, who shall de-
eide the question? The luxurious in this
country import their tobaccos and pay dtl-
ties on them; the poor man buys his tobacco
here, and though he pays a tax on it, it is
not luxury.
The tobacco tax falls chiefly on the poor,
and the money they pay TO the government
is good money. The tax is an unnecessary
tax, and the money that it takes out Of the
pockets OF the poor is as good money as il
it came out OF the pockets Of the rich.

Kissape and others.

About a year ago the newspapers were
llled with the sensational details OF an ex-
posture involving the honor and the liberty
Of one, William Kissane, millionaire re-
siding in California.
Some thirty years ago Kissane committed
the crime of forgery. He was indicted,
bu, the trial was delayed, and the papers
were pigeon-holed. Kissane disappeared,
h@; finally turned up as a prosperous man,
and the honored head of a happy family.
An old enemy who had kept an eye on Kis-
sane all the time now appeared and caused
his arrest, with the intention of having the
CID indictment pressed. 1t was charged
that the culprit vas not only forger, but
that he was also a thief and a murderer.
The press took the matter up. DR.. Tai
mage preached q sermon on the case. Ev
crywhere there appeared to be feeling that
there was something wrong in digging up
this mans past, when for thirty years he
had been a good citizen, without flaw in
his conduct. Old Californians recalled the
notorious case of Harry Meiggs. When he
became involved in some disgraceful fnan-
cial tangles, Meiggs ran away from San
francisco. tie went 10 SOuLn AIleriCa,
where he built railways, took contract to
put down a rebellion, and in various ways
succeeded in accommodating an immense
fortune. When his countrymen heard of
his good fortune they relented, and all
criminal proceedings against him were dis
continued. The upshot was that Meiggs
was permitted to return to his native land,
where he was warmly received.
The Meggs affair doubtless influenced
public opinion in the KisSane matter, and
after long period Of suspense it is now an
nounced that the indictments against the
unfortunate man have been quashed, and
he is no longer in danger of being mo-
Tested.
We do not feel disposed to object to this
disposition of the matter. Kissane has
suffered, and if there is any truth in the
crimes charged against him he will suffer
for long time to come. 1t is better to
leave him to his conscience than it would
be to depend upon the uncertain testimony
of witnesses concerning the events of gem
Grafton ago. In the end justice will claim
its own,

Bernl,ardt and Bonaparte.

The announcement of the approaching
marriage of the son Of Sarah Bernhardt to
princess, who is the great-granddaughte
of Lucien Bonaparte, the prince of Canine,
is an astonishing piece of news.
Maurice Bernhard is, of course, the son.
of famous actress, but this is the begin
ming and the end of his pedigree. He is
frivolous, dissipated youngster, with his
mothers earlier vices, but without a spark
Of her talent.
1t may be that this young mans princess
is not beauty or genius, but her lineage
makes her worthy of royal lover, and it is
a mystery that she should throw herself
away upon a worthless fellow who came
from the gutter, and is likely to return.
The greats grandfather of this princess was
the best and brightest of the first Napolcon's
brothers. During the stirring times of the
directory he was member of the French
assembly. Later he was president of the
Council of Five Hundred. He saved Napo-
Icons life on the day when the council was
dissolved by the entrance of his brother at
the head of detachment of soldiers, and in
various other ways he proved himself man
of judgment and courage. Napoleon offered
him a kingdom, but he refused to accept it.
He became senator and prince, and after
Waterloo advised his imperial brother to
proclaim himself dictator and make one
more effort to save the empire. During the
last years of his life he resided in Italy,
where his house was the resort of the most
distinguished literary and scientific men of
| Europe.
| For the descendant of such man to ally
herself with Sarah Bernhardts son is what
the French call a mesalliance. Bernhardt's
! bride deserves to be pitied in advance. The
social world will soon forget that she has
| the blood OF the Bonapartes in her veins.

Pension Extravasance.

The most reckless piece Of pension lesis-
lation which has yet been proposed, is the
bin Of Senator Henderson. who wants 70
pension no; only all Of the old soldiers, but
virtually all of their uncles, cousins and
aun;s. and anybody else who is in any way
connected with them.
The bill Was prepared by the pensions
committee Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public. which has disposed Of its work in as
thorough a manner as possible. 1t has
simply asked that the earth be divided
among the members Of the G. a. r., and
wants the public to do as best it can on
what is left.
Parents, widows and minor children. Of
now or hereafter, of any deceased soldier
who served on the union side, are to be
pensioned if they are dependent upon
others, or upon manual labor for their sup
port. II makes no difference whether the
soldier was killed in war or whether he dies
twenty-five or fifty years after, from inju-
ries received in Z railroad smash-up. a fight,
a frolic, or from any other cause, his corps
of relations will become public bene-
ficiares by this bill. All honorably dis
charged soldiers, incapable of manual labor,
will be put on the invalid list at twelve dol
lars per month, whether they were inca
pacitated during the war or since, or may
be in the future.
Such bill scarcely deserves serious con-
sideraton. The Kansas City Times prop
erly says OF it; '"This is pensioning run
mad. The people of the United States,
north and south, do not want to see
single soldier suffer who suffered for his
country, neither do they want to create an
outrageous debt for the benefit of men who
may never have smelled noMder.n

Christmas in Georgia this year will be a
joyous occasion. Peace and plenty sit by
every hearthstone. There is no suffering
from either hunger or cold, and happier
and more contented people cannot be found
on the continent.
But in Kansas we find the opposite Of
this picture. The coolest billiards OF the
winter arc sweeping the bleak prairies. 4
coal famine has set in, ami in a trceless
country the extent Of such calamity can
not be estimated. People are freezing to
death. They are burning their furniture
and portions Of their houses. Numbers Of
delicate women and little children have
already persisted
Among these unfortunate people are some
who were lured from their pleasant homes
in Georgia by the persuasive rhetoric Of
the Kansas immigration agents. In this
hour of wretchedness and torture the old
red hills of their native states must loom
up before them as the garden spots Of the
earth.
After all, the best thing Georgians can do
is to stay at home. Kansas may do for
some people, but it won't do for Georgians.
Our land Of perpetual sunshine cannot be
matched anywhere Oh the continent.

sale and consumption oflard made wholly or
in part Of cotton seed oil II Is q fact-and
a fact on Which the whole country ought 10
be congratuiated-th the production Of
cotton seed oil lard has grown to be an i'm
mense business. The so-called adulteration
OF hogs fat with cotton seed oil has been
going on for several years, TWAS discover
cd some years ago, when n sharp Chicago
dealer, who supposed that he had cornered
the market, found the woods full of new
lard, so 10 speak. The corner collapsed,
but the dealers feelings were severely hurt,
as were the feelings of those who were his
coparceners in crime, and since that time
these honest people have done what they
could 20 stop the alleged Adulteration of
hogs fat.
As matter of fact, this alleged adultcra-
ton is in the interest of health and COED
living. and no attempt has ever been made
10 conceal the extent Of it. Mr.. Phil Ar
mour has publicly stated on more than one
occasion that he used every year one million
five hundred thousand gallons OF cotton seed
oil in his lard refineries. This use of cotton
seed oil is not adulieration in the strict sense
of that term. II is simply the addition Of

II is true that she has framed a constitution
prohibiting polygamy. This however, is a
mere bid for admission into the union.
Once state, Utah would throw her consti-
tuition to the winds and make another.
Polygamy, if not actually legalized, would
be tolerated, and the laws against, If any
were suffered to remain on the statute book,
would be imperative.
We have now waged an active fight
against the Mormons for forty years, and at
present we are masters Of the situation.
But if we allow this territory to become a
state all that we have gained win go for
nothing. The federal government viii be
powerless to interfere, and its polygamous
enemies will have it all their own way.
These matters should be seriously consid-
cred before congress disposes of the Utah
question. Shall we abandon the fight
against polygamy? This is the sum and
substance Of the question.

Refwecn Two Fires.

The position of the republican party in
New York is very much like that of the ass
which died of starvation while hcsitating
between two stacks Of hay, fearing to leave
one long enough to save itself by going to
the other. The leaders of the G. o. p. find
themselves in the most embarrassing situa-
ton in which they have ever drifted, and
being confronted with complications of
distressing character, are making the most
strenuous endeayors to pull through safely
and find themselves landed right side up.
During the session of the recent Tepubli-
can convention in New York, another body
of men were holding daily meetings at SYRIA
cuse, and what the former hoped to do for
the republican party, the latter was pro-
ceeding quietly to Illustrate by thorough
organization of their own forces. This was
the anti-saloon republican convention,
formed entirely from the republican party,
with the object of forcing that party to
make square issue against the saloons.
At its head was ex-Chief Justice Noah Davis,
Of the supreme court, an able leader and
the commander OF large following among
republicans and prohibitionists.
This element has steadily increased in
strength until it finds itself in position to
demand recognition from the party which
II is inclined TO support or to seriously in
jure IL, in the event OF a refusal to comply

the republicans yield TO the anti-saloon Gle
ment of the party. These voters are
mostly German, and those who can always
De counted on to be on the opposite side
from the prohibitionsts. Thus the repub-
lican party is faced with .he certainty Of a
tremendous loss, whatever it does.
There is no doubt that the political prohi-
bitionists are largely taken from the repub-
Hcan party. In New York, particularly, the
republicans have been holding this vote 70
a greater extent than in other states, by
leading it to believe that that party was IN.
clined to assist the prohibitionisis IN carry
ing out their purposes. But the prohibit
The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1887-12-27

tionists have determined that they will be
no longer deceived, and will now force a
concession to their terms or will bolt out
right. There are $4,000 straight prohibit
tionists in New York, and there are $4,000
anti-saloon republicans who are ready to
join them if the republican bosses don't
put their party squarely against the saloons.
As such course would cost the latter party
probably more than it would pay, it will
hardly be adopted.
The truth OF the matter is that the COM
ing year will be very fatal one to the re-
publican party. 1t cannot possibly carry
New York, and without that state all is
lost. We are ready to bid it an affectionate
and an eternal farewell.
